SteamCMD says it updated my server to 21.2, but it's still running 21.1?

[Mr. Perfect]

Hey all,

 

Need a little help with updating a dedicated server from 21.1 to 21.2. This is the process I used:

 

1. Shutdown dedi
2. Ran Steam CMD command to update 7D2, which spent a lot of time downloading

   steamcmd.exe +login "%STEAM_USERNAME%" "%STEAM_PASSWORD%" +app_update 251570 +quit

3. Started dedi
4. Ran dedi command

   version

   which still returns 21.1 B16, clients also have to downgrade to 21.1 to log in.

 

I've tried rerunning the SteamCMD update command a second time, but it tells me the app is already up to date.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Have you checked if the files in the dedicated have new timestamps? Maybe you are looking at the wrong location and steamcmd updated a different directory

You should be using the command differently.

 

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "Absolute\Path\To\Location" +login anonymous +app_update 251570 validate +quit

Hmm, they don't have updated timestamps, actually. Steam put the update somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Ah, that would explain it then! Thanksgiving has to be dealt with before I can try the correct command, but here's hoping.

 

Thank you both! I'll report back later.
